Wireless doorbell 300MHz

The operation of a 303MHz circuit has been covered in our project WIRELESS DOORBELL.
We are not going over how the circuit works but explain the importance of some of the components and how they effect the range. The most critical component is the transistor. A quality transistor is important in the RF section and Japanese transistors are by far the best for this purpose. The transistor used in the 303MHz oscillator has a maximum frequency of operation of 1,000MHz and this is where its gain is equal to `1,` so we want a transistor to have a good gain at 300MHz. A BC 547 transistor will not operate at this frequency so we have used a 2N 3563 which is low cost and will operate up to 1,000MHz.

The following circuit uses a CD 4069 IC to produce the 32kHz tone and 4 gates in parallel to turn the oscillator transistor on and off at the tone-rate.
A single gate will not have enough output to pull the emitter to ground, however 4 gates will bring the emitter close to 0v rail. It must not be at exactly 0v as the 6p will not have an effect in maintaining oscillation.
The chip has 6 gates and when an input is just above mid rail, the output goes LOW. When the input is just below mid rail the output goes HIGH. The gap between detecting a low and a high is not very large and the gate will detect signals called "analogue signals." This type of circuit makes an ideal basis for experimentation. You can experiment with the RF side of the circuit as well as the high impedance sections. Each gate is capable of providing a very high gain and by putting a 1M from output to input the gate is kept in a state of excitement, oscillating at approx 500kHz, if no other components surround the gate to control the frequency. This is designed to keep the gate active so that the smallest signal will be processed.
In the case of the gate between pins 13 and 12, the 1n capacitor between the input and ground will reduce the frequency enormously, as well as the effect of the 2n2 and 5k6 resistor.
The second and third gates simply increase the amplitude of the signal and do not provide any form of removal of unwanted signals.

The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....

Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....

Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....

The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....

The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....

In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....

This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....

A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....

The best human ear can capture sounds from 20Hz to 20KHz. These limits are known to be the broadest that can exist. Normally the normal limits range from 100Hz to about 13KHz and depend on the age and health of the individual. We for our measurements and to....
